The entire lunch was a mix of silence and awkward exchange, but it was thanks to the children's optimism that the mood lightened up.
Kenzie especially walked towards the General and asked, "Grandpa, you did not eat at all. Is there something wrong?"
The little girl's pure-hearted probing and gleaming eyes made Winfield sigh. He gasped as he reached for the child's head and said, "I'm not very." He cleared his throat before resuming, "I'm not very hungry."
"But grandpa, Mommy always tells me that food is a blessing! Sometimes we only had chocolate porridge, but you have pork and vegetables on your plate. You should eat that grandpa," revealed Kenzie.
While he forced a smile at Kenzie, it all the more tightened Winfield's chest. He turned to Samantha and silently asked for an explanation.
Even Ethan was looking at his wife, wondering what Kenzie meant.
"Um." Samantha pursed her lips as she set aside her utensils. She ex
"I hate her! I hate her!" Annie screamed at the top of her lungs, stomping her feet altogether with their predicament."You stupid girl!" Catherine shook her daughter by the shoulder and said, "You did not even make sure yourself where you sent Sam to that evening! You should have made sure it was someone incompetent! Haven't you learned anything from me?"Pushing her daughter's forehead with her finger, she added, "Instead, you sent her to Ethan Wright!"For the past four hours, the mother and daughter had been arguing nonstop from inside Annie's room.Annie has been trying to find a way to divert all the blame to Samantha while her mother repeatedly scolded her for her lapses."I did not know it was Ethan!" Another yell left Annie's lips."Mother, what do we do now?" Annie groaned in frustration, but before Catherine could answer, the doors swung open and came inside Winfield Davis."Dad," Annie called for he
[WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MATURE CONTENTS NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG READERS]8PM at Ethan and Samantha's home.With a smile on her face, Samantha lathered lotion on her arms. She looked at herself, facing the vanity table and muttered, "It feel so good to embrace, Dad again."Ethan walked behind her and helped spread the lotion in her other arm. He probed, "Is my wife happy?"Samantha had a gleam in her eyes as she turned to face her husband. She received a peck on the lips before she answered, "I'm very happy, Ethan."She giggled while she let herself be carried in his arms and into the bed. She asked, "Did I ever tell you how happy I am, I married you? I'm not yet done, by the way.""Hmmmm," said Ethan. He lay her on the bed and began to kiss on her neck before he said, "Prove it."Samantha could not help but laugh. She reminded her husband, "I have my period, remember?"A hiss left Ethan's lips before he asked, "When will
Days passed. Samantha was missing Ethan so much that she eagerly awaited his return on a Thursday.While inside the kitchen of the First Diamond Hotel, Samantha repeatedly checked the time.Before Ethan left, he told that a private jet was unavailable, and thus, he and John took a shared flight, booking first class on the way back to Braeton from Laton City.Killing the time, Samantha kept herself busy, randomly tasting how the chefs have prepared the dishes for their lunch service.When one of the station chefs, Jane, reported late for her shift, she came into the kitchen mumbling, "Sorry I'm late. There is this big traffic due to fire trucks and ambulances, rushing into the airport. Apparently, there was a flight that crashed on the runway at Braeton airport!"That immediately shifted Samantha's attention to Jane. She frowned and asked, "A plane crashed at the airport?""I don't know the details. I just heard people talk
Friday, 8 AM.Standing on a rocky cliff of Jansu island, a huge mansion made of bricks and closed grilled windows faced the sea.The same estate stood miles away from the nearby, yet nearly deserted town within the island.The mansion was surrounded by security, guarding its isolated estate against unexpected guests. It was utterly the most protected home on Jansu island.Jansu island was known for its rough waves, often flooding the coasts. It resulted in many fishermen to lose their homes that several left the island to search anew. Those who remain lingered the peaks of the island, away from the seas.It was essentially one of the most remote islands in the country and rarely were there boats going in and out of the place.From inside the four-story mansion, a man was looking out his grilled windows, holding up a phone in his hand. He had jet black hair, a well-built body, and tanned skin. He stood abou
The time had finally come. It was the day of the First Diamond Hotel's grand opening. The entire lobby of the hotel was filled with Christmas decors, reminding everyone of the nearing celebration. A huge Christmas Tree stood at the centermost part of the hotel lobby where a sofa was placed in front of it, perfect for families to take a quick picture amidst the beautiful high ceilings of the property and grand chandelier by the entrance. A band was playing Christmas songs in one corner as each of the hotel's valued guests arrived. While Ethan and his parents were busy entertaining the arrival of the Wright Diamond Corporation board of directors, Samantha was claiming it in the kitchen. "Five minutes to serve our sea urchin canapes, everyone. How are we doing?" Samantha called out. "Ten pieces to go chef!" Answered one of her station chefs. She smiled, looking at the scrambled eggs mixed
After the event, Ethan and Amanda took the opportunity to introduce Samantha personally to the rest of his family, his uncle, and some of his cousins. They were all welcoming of Samantha, especially after learning that she was the General's daughter. Samantha could not deny it, being granted back as her father's daughter had its advantages. Ethan's relatives had no questions about her background, merely advocating her skills as a chef and her beautiful face. While Winfield and Samantha still needed more time to heal all the wounds, she was at least happy that they were now trying. Since their reconciliation, Winfield had visited their home once and even fetched the children on one occasion, having lunch at the First Diamond Hotel with her. While Amanda further dragged Samantha to other tables, Ethan asked for private time with the General. It confused Winfield why there was a need to talk with Ethan at ano
Samantha came home one afternoon after hearing from her aunt Diana that her father brought Matilda to their home. Winfield called Samantha several times, but because of her work, she could not answer his calls. He only left her a message, telling her he was leaving for a few days. Arriving at the mansion gardens, Samantha found Matilda with her caregiver, watering the plants with her children and two maids. "Mommy! Grandma Matilda is here!" Announced Kenzie. "Hi, Mommy! You are home early today?" Kyle probed. With a smile, Samantha embraced her children and pecked on each of their cheeks. She told, "I came home early because grandma is here. And today, we have presents to wrap because it's almost Christmas!" "Yey! I want to wrap Daddy's gift!" Kyle happily answered. "And I'll wrap Mommy's and grandma D's and grandma Matilda's gifts!" Kenzie claimed. "You can wrap the other gifts, Kyle." "Ar
4:00 AM at Jansu Island. In the mansion, standing atop of a cliff of Jansu Island, men on guard secured the area, walking back and forth at the estate when out of nowhere, the power went off! "What's going on?" "What happened to the power?" "Turn the emergency power on!" The surrounding men asked each other while some checked on their power lines. It took around ten minutes for the mansion's generator to kick-in, lighting only a portion of the lights outside the home. "What just happened?" "I don't know, but the town also has no power." There were roughly eight guards outside the home. While some guards continue to converse, a few checked the perimeters, making sure there were no intrusions. A man holding a gun across his chest specifically checked the seas and the cliff entrance. When he saw that his colleagues on a speedboat were still doing their rounds half a mile from t

Months after Samantha and Ethan had their honeymoon, they were back to their busy lives. With the second hotel in full operation, Samantha was now running five restaurants all in all. She now manned over two hundred chefs, requiring the promotion of two executive chefs. Ethan, on the other hand, was on the road to making his first Diamond Hotel outside the city. Ultimately, he wanted to make a hotel chain, keeping the Diamond brand. Kenzie and Kyle accelerated two years ahead, making them ready for high school after a year.While still young, both were fixated on their dreams and already had a map outlined for them to follow. Kyle wanted to be a computer engineer while Kenzie wanted to be a model or an actress. While the entertainment industry was not what Ethan dreamed for his child, he understood that he should not be in the way of his daughter's dream. He supported them by giving outside-of-school classes.
Many years had passed since Ethan and Samantha got married. Yet, Samantha's beauty remained remarkable at thirty-three. Her golden hair already grew down to her back, and she did not seem to have aged at all.She had her hair somewhat straightened, with just enough waves to give life to her still angelic face.It was thanks to Ethan's pampering that she always had time to take care of herself.Getting her hair and make-up done in front of a vanity table, she received compliments left and right."Mrs. Wright, you are so beautiful. Your husband must really adore you.""Mr. and Mrs. Wright are perfect for each other."Samantha smiled as they fixed her up. She said, "I am... confident about that too. We are a great pair."Still, it was because she was wondering about the dress she was about to wear that she asked, "Although the dress has Sapphire gems on them, does it look to you as a wedding gown?""No, no.
Another year passed."Winfield, do you take Sarah to be your wedded wife, to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her, for as long as you both shall live?" The officiant asked.Looking into his wife's eyes, Winfield Davis answered, "I do."After the priest asked the same Sarah Davis, she smiled back at her husband and answered, "I do.""May your love be eternal and undying. In witness of your love and commitment, it is now my pleasure to introduce you to those present here as husband and wife. In honor of your entrance into holy matrimony, you may now kiss the bride," the officiant closed, encouraging Sarah and Winfield to face the crowd.Smiles could be seen between Winfield and Sarah as they officially remarry after a year of moving to their new home.Cheers and
"Following my years of service, I officially announce my retirement. It has been a memorable and challenging years, serving my country, but the time has come for me to give my attention to my lovely wife, Sarah, and to my daughter," Announced Winfield Davis as he stood in front of a podium.Flashes could be heard around the military stadium where many of the reporters were invited to witness the General's official statement as he stepped down being the head of the nation's armed forces.Finally, after two years of requesting from the government, Winfield was granted the chance to retire early and spend the rest of his time with his family."And with my official retirement, I am proud to reveal the next general to follow in my footsteps!" Added Winfield.The crowd cheered and gave their applause to the newly appointed general, who happened to be one of Winfield's trusted men.In the front rows, Samantha, Ethan, and thei
"Doctor? How is it?" Ethan asked after the doctor came back in with the results of Samantha's recent laboratories.The doctor sat on his desk and reviewed the documents. After a while, he answered, "Everything is normal, and it has been for more than a year now."With a smile on his face, the doctor added, "I suppose it's safe to say that the Kannareth disease will no longer manifest."While Samantha was pregnant, she had monthly laboratories done, just to keep her health monitored.Shortly after giving birth, they have switched to quarterly visits to the doctor, and thankfully, Samantha showed no signs of the Kannareth disease.The doctor scoffed and declared, "So the pregnancy may have really helped!""We think so, doctor. In fact, BNU pharmaceuticals are already looking into this angle." Ethan leaned back in his seat and told, "I have even funded their research so more women who are affected by this illness will find a solutio
Six months passed.Both Kaleb and Kate were growing up well. The twins were gaining weight fast as well.They were able to easily sit up with minimal support at six months, already able to play with their siblings, blabber, and giggle happily as they did."Crawl to me, Kate!" Kenzie called as she and Kyle were playing with their younger siblings from inside the nursery."And Kaleb, come to me!" Kyle encouraged.The four of them were inside a fenced area of the nursery, with floor mats and with stuffed toys and other toys fit for their age.Nearly every day, Kenzie and Kyle had made it a habit to play with their siblings in the afternoon. Their Mommy usually joined them whenever Samantha would get off from work early.Kate and Kaleb excitedly crawled in the direction of their siblings, racing as they giggled in thrill.With Kaleb's stronger built, however, he managed to arrive firs
"John, I'm taking a paternity leave for two weeks," Ethan told his assistant on the phone.He heard John Garcia's awkward response, "Ah, boss. Your family owns the company, so you don't need to ask permission."There was silence between them before Ethan said, "I know that, John. I am telling you so you can clear my schedule and do what you needed to do. As necessary, see me at home with important documents.""In any case, Dad will stand in for me," Ethan added."Yes, Mr. Wright, and congratulations on your babies! May I just say, I am very - very happy for you," said John.Putting down the phone, Ethan turned to his little man, sleeping in the hospital crib. He smiled, took Kaleb in his arms, and said, "Mommy will have to keep visiting your sister for some time... So I guess, you'll spend more time with Daddy for two weeks."Soon, Samantha came in with Sarah, being brought with a wheelchair. Samantha said, "I'm ready to go
2:00 AM at a private hospital. "Doctor, what's going on?" Ethan asked the hospital's resident' physician from inside a private room equipped for Samantha to give birth. "Mr. Wright, your wife's water broke. She will have to deliver the babies soon," told the doctor. Both of them spoke outside the room while Samantha and the babies were being monitored. "But the second baby is not ready yet," Ethan expressed, utterly concerned for his child. "Mr. Wright, sadly, there is no stopping this. It's because the first baby is already ready," the doctor told. "What we can assure you I that the babies will be given the best care and treatment." "Your second baby may need a machine to breathe while her lungs are still not yet fully developed. However, it depends. Base on your wife's records; she received steroids treatment. The baby's lungs may have developed in advance." The doctor shrugged and said, "We can only tell when the b
